Tom, Thank you for responding. I applied the patch that you sent, and it didn't cure the problem. The same error still results after make. It was a very clever idea though!
So, I reupdated from CVS and configure --without-rtree. Make then finishes, and the application runs. What am I missing without rtree? Wiklipedia tells me that rtrees are ways of indexing spatial data... Seems like most of Xastir would need that! -Steve On Friday, June 08, 2007, at 07:26PM, "Tom Russo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >On Fri, Jun 08, 2007 at 02:20:01PM -0700, we recorded a bogon-computron >collision of the <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> flavor, containing: >> Group, >> >> I was following the How-to's for Fedora at the Wiki.
